EDITORS COMMENTS
This fresco, titled "Psyche coming back from the underworld, carried by cupids" transports viewers to a mythical realm filled with love and metamorphoses. Painted in 1517-18 by Giulio Romano based on a draft by Raphael, this masterpiece adorns the Loggia of Cupid and Psyche in Villa Farnesina, Rome. The scene depicted captures the moment when Psyche returns from the depths of the underworld, gracefully lifted by a group of playful cupids. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this ancient tale as Psyche emerges triumphantly from her arduous journey. Romano's skillful brushwork beautifully portrays each cupid's mischievous expression and delicate wings. The architectural elements surrounding them add depth to the composition while emphasizing their ethereal flight. As we gaze upon this fresco, we are reminded of Apuleius' "The Golden Ass" and its timeless themes of love and transformation. The lush flora framing the scene symbolizes rebirth and growth after hardship. This artwork not only showcases Romano's artistic prowess but also highlights his collaboration with Raphael during Italy's Renaissance period. Its presence in Villa Farnesina serves as a testament to its historical significance within Italian art history. With its blend of mythology, botanical motifs, and architectural detail, this painting captivates our imagination while reminding us of humanity's enduring fascination with love, beauty, and resilience.
